Jim Lo Scalzo: Evidence of my Existence

Evidence of My Existence is a summary of a new memoir by US News & World Report photojournalist Jim Lo Scalzo. He combines passages from his now published book with photographs, video, and Super-8 film, and brings us a personal account of his years spent with an obsessive wanderlust, and moving from one new story to the next.

Jim Lo Scalzo says that "travel is a compulsive craving. Oh yes, it is...it's an addiction and a buzz....and just what most photojournalists, travel and documentary photographers feel and experience before, during and after their assignments.

About The Travel Photographer

Based in New York City, I am a freelance photographer specializing in documenting endangered cultures
and traditional life ways of Asia, Latin America and Africa. My images, articles and photo features were published in various magazines, and my travel photographs were featured by some of the largest adventure travel companies in the United States and Great Britain, as well as in multinational corporations' art collections. My photographs have been acquired by an eclectic range of clients; from the Standard Chartered’ Bank's permanent art collection to Spike TV.

I also organize and lead photo expeditions and workshops for photographers who share my enthusiasm for unusual cultures,
uncommon locations and lesser known festivals. I'm a faculty member at the Foundry Photojournalism Workshop, and give workshops at the Travel Photographer Society (Kuala Lumpur).
